What is 42.7 percent of 750.47 - step by step solution

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 750.47 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 750.47 is 100%, so we can write it down as 750.47=100%.
4. We know, that x is 42.7% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=42.7%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 750.47=100%
2) x=42.7%
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
750.47/x=100%/42.7%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 42.7% of 750.47

750.47/x=100/42.7
(750.47/x)*x=(100/42.7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
750.47=2.3419203747073*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.3419203747073) to get x
750.47/2.3419203747073=x
320.45069=x
x=320.45069

now we have:
42.7% of 750.47=320.45069
